Crappy Manga: Making hard decisions

So... a good time to donate blood?

Dungeon Mastery: Lichdom for Dummies

Why make lichdom hard? The fact is necromancers want folks to embrace the undead existance in droves. They want armies of undead at the command of the elite few.

Yes its risky, but so is all power. So dont hesitate to get started with your copy of Lichdom for dummies.

We dont fear the Reaper. We are the Reaper.

For the Player: "You flick through the book with the black and yellow cover and see a hand drawn picture of a person holding a book licking the inside of the book cover."
For the DM: roll 1d20 and check the result chart...

Die - PC licks the inside of the back cover 
01 - PC dies.
02 - PC dies and animates as a Zombie.
03 - PC dies and animates as a Ghoul.
04 - PC dies and animates as a Shadow.
05 - PC dies and animates as a Wight.
06 - PC dies and animates as a Wraith.
07 - PC dies and animates as a Spectre.
08 - PC dies and animates as a Mummy.
09 - PC reduces in age to 10, dies and animates as a Vampire* lollie.
10 - PC dies and animates as a Flying Skull.
11 - PC dies and hands animate as crawling hands.
12 - PC dies and eyeballs animate as flying eyeballs.
13 - PC's Tongue falls out and crawls away.
14 - PC goes blind.
15 - PC charisma permanantly reduces to 3.
16 - PC looses an eye which falls out.
17 - PC looses a hand which falls off.
18 - PC inflicts drain touch on all living things automatically.
19 - PC now attracts undead within one hundred feet.
20 - PC dies and is animated as a Lich* for one hour per day.

*Sentient undead under Players control. All other undead forms are monsters under DM control.

Conclusion: 
At 55% the earliest use of floating disc is apparently *K (in the Sindhi language).
The first intact use is at 43% with Di sa a nte t (in Khmer).
At 42% it spreads to vietnamese as Dia noi.
Then at 41% it spreads as Ukudada kwidii (Xhosa language) and Diski sinokunanda (in Tamil). This is all regional magic use that eventually spreads world wide, but oddly it only reaches Thai at 1% as Phaen ixy.

Conclusion: Beginning at 32% the gnomish names Herrifen and Blaif Rinnar predate the Gnomish gods in linguistic development.
At 3% Dophdar is the last gnomish name.

Origin of the Gnomes
Herrifen comes with a -fen suffix suggesting a fen dwelling gnomish population. There is only one fen on the greyhawk map, the others being marshes, moors, and swamps. The Trollfens sit just below the Griff Mountains. Several generations later Foreman Fenrouse appears to be a significant gnomish leader's name amongst the trollfen dwelling gnomes. But Garl Glitterlode's generation sees migration to a Moor (found in the gnomish name Endoble Mistikmore).
Only the Rushmoors meets the requirements as a destination and potentially ties this mass migration to that of the Dwarves of Or migrating (before the rise of Orcus in the Dwarf homeland north of the Trollfens) to beyond the Lortmils, panning for gold in the Lort River. This relationship between garl glitterlode, the dwarves of the Lortmils, and the gnomes of the Rushmoors explains his rise as a god of gnomes and dwarves.

Rebellious Streak: thoughts on Rebooting Blakes 7

System Pursuit Ship adrift in Space
Somewhere on the edge of astro point 781 in the 12th Sector a Pursuit Ship is drifting. A last remnant of the AI dominated civilization toppled by a Brain in a box named ORAC.
It has taken Vila decades to pull together the resources necessary to venture this far out beyond the Terran Federation.
The MK6 Terran Federation Pursuit ship he has abandoned has seen better days and is still in better condition compared to the Space-world built Pursuit ship looming closer every minute as he drifts across the void of space toward its hull.

The Access Airlock was easily identified and the ship breached. The original crew were long deceased, their survival dependant on the System that ORAC had long ago destroyed. Remaining in his space-suit Vila walked onto the very familiar flight deck stepping over the ancient remains of a long deceased crew and stared at the Ship's dead AI interface.
"Zen?" Vila paused, contemplating his alternatives if it failed to respond. "Respond Please."

Vila, last of the Seven, is not overly keen on dying like his compatriots. Rather his need to survive has driven him to salvage the most powerful ship technology possible.

Thus we have:

  1. A ship technologically similar to the Liberator, with an FTL velocity of Standard by Twenty, Auto-repair, Herculanium Hull, Zen AI, Force-wall, Battle computers, Teleport, and a Neutron Blaster as primary ship weapon.
  2. An aging Thief named Vila who knows its value to be beyond all the credits in the Terran Federation banking system.
But should it begin here, or should we write this tale backwards beginning where it ended - on Gauda Prime, and ending where it began - on Earth?

Conclusion: Detect Magic is known at 35% to Basque (Detektatu magia). From there it spreads... though the detect magic spell could be known earlier (40%) in a Basque-Filipino linguistic merger for those interested in creating exotic magic-aware cultures.

Art Folio: The Public Pilory

In the Great Market Place stands an ornate stone pillar fitted with iron shackles and a bronze shield on a dias. Usually there is a felon shackled there to be shamed, pitied, or brutalized depending greatly on the public mood.

Conclusion: there is sufficient alphabet before 42% to create halfling names, LALLAL is a viable name for halfling females at 59%. That these early access names are unused implies significant historic and cultural loss.
At 42% Allentar, and likewise 31% Diggson predate the immortal Brandobaris at 29%. At 27% Shire isnt viable linguisticly until after Brandobaris. This suggests Brandobaris is a pre-shire halfling name...
After Brandobaris, Yondalla achieves immortality at 18%.

20% K, H, M, P, A, E, O, N, I, U, L: Kanaloa

Conclusions: Without a larger pantheon of names to analyse this is the only conclusion we can achieve...
At 80% the goddess Uli is the first of these five divinities.
At 60% the development of alphabet jumps to include the letters of the word AEON. This is a word known to ancient greeks suggesting sailors speaking ancient greek made contact with the hawaiian language group without introducing any gods? Amongst gnostics, Aeon is a spiritual state of divine greatness also used to describe a time-frame of 1000 years. Is this an intentional marker indicating contact in the year 1000AC ?
At 40% three new gods- lolupe (a christian portugese or spanish sailor), alae-hina (a japanese woman?), and Milu (no family name?) arrive at hawaii. (Contact 1400AD+).
At 20% Kanaloa appears. This entity is to be considered a post-spanish entity.

 Was a sorceress from the island of

 from the gods. Invoked to kill               
 enemies.

 Christian missionaries equated him    
 with the Devil and say he led a             
 rebellion against the other gods,          
 though this is debatable. Ruled the      
 Pacific. Guardian of the underworld.  
 Lives in “the hidden” and is from the 
 “outer void.” He is the teacher of         
 magic.

Further analysis: Terra media and Terra-media (spanish & corsican) are the point of origin, with submigration to Mett Aerd and Tierra media (Luxembourgish & Portugese).

Middle earth originates as a concept in the Spain-Corsica region. Crossing the Misty Mountains happens in the Pyrenees.

So where is Mordor? The region is volcanic, but in the north of Spain the Pyrenees has volcanoes, mountain passes, and oddly enough a good fit for the inaccessible Mordor and Rohan.

The tales likely originate with a tribal conflict - between lowlands people and a mountain folk acessible only through narrow passes.

If the Mordor faction were hold up in the mountains when their volcano began to smoke, drawing the attention of a rival tribe, they would have perished in an eruption and subsequent conflict.

This story combined with a longer conflict between mountain-folk and low-landers gave rise to a tale of a larger conflict ending in an eruption and destruction of the tower of Sauron.

Star Trek: Introducing the end of Starfleet

With starships under the control of Starfleet, validating what is effectively a pseudo-scientific military class, non starfleet personnel are denied access to technology that allows them to venture beyond starfleet's control.

The Planet Hopper
In the Post Hobus supernova period, the retrofitting of torpedoes with their warheads replaced with transporter buffers and holographic projectors, a small one-crew transport was developed. While the concept initially led to the development of what was little more than a planet hopper capable of movement within solar systems, the addition of transporter buffers that could hold a pattern for a prolonged period extended the travel range.

The Transwarp Star Hopper
Very rare amongst these is the transwarp torpedo.
Capable of achieving Warp 10, a single passenger could launch to space from a planetary surface riding in a holographic projection on a torpedo, and then be placed in the transporter buffer for the transwarp length of voyage before being returned to the holographic projection from the transporter buffer on arrival.

"No, I'm not Starfleet."
Now Federation citizens could travel not only across Federation space, but well beyond it's borders. No longer would diplomatic relations be made by dogmatic starship captains followed by fanatically obedient crews. Now ordinary people could boldly go...where no-one has gone before.

Linguistic Archaeology: Finding Middle Earth

"Far and wide (as I heard) the work was given out in many a tribe over middle earth, the making of the mead-hall." - Hrothgar builds Heorot, Beowulf

While the significance of Beowulf to LOTR's Middle earth is beyond doubt, middle earth is a concept that predates Beowulf. So where does the idea of middle earth come from?

Conclusions: Middle earth appears regionally as a concept at 43% regionally in the forms Midden ierede (western frisian), Tierra media (spanish), Terra-media (portugese), Met aerd (luxembourgish), Midden aarde (dutch), Terra media (corsica).


Thus we are looking at an earlier-unidentified source, which divides into two groups. One in western europe- luxembourg, netherlands, and belgium.
The other is portugese, spanish, corsican. Two regional locations, but there can be only one. We are provided in the Beowulf tale evidence of group migration to a seacoast with access to migrating whales (easy hunting through the english channel).

Does it mean migration north to the netherlands, and south to spain, portugal, and corsica from the Middle earth of France? Or are we looking at a fast migration from their holdfasts in Portugal, spain, corsica region to the netherlands?

Middle earth remains elusive, though narrowed down in origin. Ironic that JRR Tolkien would go fight a war in middle earth, in life and fiction.

Conclusions: at 37% Charm Person was first known to Hawaiians (Mea ho onaninani).
At 36% contact with hawaiians leads to it spreading to Thai (Senh khn), Estonian (Sarmikas inimene), and Arabic (Shakhs sihr).
At 33% it spreads to Albanian (Person sharm).
At 32% It spreads to Lao (Khonthimisa ne)... before the spell floods into europe at 31%.

Whether the Hawaiian Magic-users are casters of Charm Person Magic, or are the earliest victims of it's use is hard to discern. The lure of beautiful hawaiian girls wielding charm magic is as mutual as the lure of some unidentified slavers enticing Hawaiians to their ships with a spell.

Linguistic Archaeology: Treasure Maps

One of these should be the treasure map we are looking for. Phonetically it would be valley of bamboo, hill tomb on the coast by the ocean, and tiger implying a sunken treasure.














Option C is a little further West than I like... but after a look at google maps we have a winner.

The Origin of the word Takara:
Japanese Adventurers/Explorers/Treasure Hunters/Bandits travelled one hundred miles inland in a near straight line from the Port of Alexandria, approaching up through a long 'Valley of Bamboo' to the hill-tombs of the Pharoahs and the Sphinx just beyond - finding Treasure there.
